Wedding Hip Hop

Snagglepus

So I have a couple of wedding gigs coming up ... I usually get by with the typical soul/funk jams spiced with some raer hot sauce but eventually I get around to hip hop. Unfortunately, my wedding appropriate hip hop is a bit lacking. Thus, I get the crowd all excited with a few of the jams (Bust A Move, It Takes Two, etc) but, even though I haven't "run out" yet, I don't have enough family friendly crowd rockers to keep it going for hours on end. Most of my hip hop collection is in the Mobb Deep, Wu Tang, Boot Camp, Def Jux vein which doesn't fly at the family function.Any thoughts on "must have" wedding cuts? Old school, contemporary, whatever. Much appreciated.

like anything you play at a wedding, you should talk to the bride and groom about it. hip hop can be risky. it's often a bad look to ask them for a "list" so ask them how nasty you can get with hip hop. def stay away from mobb deep and backpacker type ship. party tracks all the way: humpty dance, beware of the boys, work it, hot in hurr, peter piper, passin me by, i like the way you move, shave my nuts, etc.

I DJed a fairly conservative wedding last weekend and Mac Dre "Dredio" lit the place up. Who'da thunk it?

wow... i think the ONLY cheezy hiphop song that somehow didn't make that CD is "Ice Ice Baby"... yet i'm surprised that the Snoop & Dre stuff made it on there.
